Arusha National Park.

Boo had been asking us, "What animal do you think we will see first?
Answer?

Giraffe. Very cool.

Baby Zebra about a week old.

Colobus Monkeys

Mongoose

Cape Buffalo

Sometimes nature, was not more then a few feet from our hands... or HEADS!

We bravely walked out in the woods with a RANGER, (with a gun!) to a waterfall.... Our guide Henry on the Left, Me, the ranger, and my hubby. We were told what to do if an animal charged us... lay flat on the ground, and the Ranger would take care of it. LOL! The only thing we came upon was a family of warthogs with babies, zebra and some cape buffalo. Pheew!

The ranger shared with me that he was also a Preacher... He said he knew God existed because he had taken another group out once, and they came upon a family of lions. Everyone laid down, and he stood with his rifle. The lions did not attack, as he said he stood their praying to God.... That is how he knows, God exists...

I said, so you work as a ranger all week, then a Preacher on weekends? He said, "I'm praying right now..."

It may have been ME, who let out a screech, as a monkey jumped over my head.

Love the photos! They look soooo much like some of the one's Rod took when there...of course you, Boo and Michael weren't in them... Hehehehe... Love the story of the Ranger. Although I am not so sure I would have been saying Pheew about the cape buffalo, if they charged I would have been asking him to pray much harder.

Thanks for sharing your pics. Giraffes were the first animals we saw too, when I took my daughter to South Africa! Apart from the troop of baboons that moved past me as I was writing in my diary alone, early in the morning. It's a magical continent.
